LONELY KISS

maybe I try

Cole's pov

Since the meeting where Mika dropped her bomb to our parents, I've been trying to make things better between us. But, she is not having it at all. Even when I went knocking on her door to let her know that her pizza had arrived, I wasn't expecting to get a glimpse of her body. She had water running down her body and the little towel she had on wasn't hiding much. I wanted to grab her and take it off of her, knew for a fact that she would have punched me in the troat if I did or maybe even kicked me in the balls and those are very prized jewels that need to be intact. Instead I decided that just looking and imagining what I would do to her if she allowed me to touch her.

She snapped me out of my thoughts by rudely asking me what I wanted, I didn't expect her to agree when I asked her to come downstairs.

I was setting up our plates with a bit of everything since we had quite alot of food. I was removing the tomatoes from her salad when I heard her clear her throat. I took out the last tomato and turned towards her.

"We can eat from here or the living room as we watch a movie or a movie after." I extended my hand to give her the plate.

She took the plate and eyed it then looked at me with a raised eyebrow. " You removed the tomatoes from my plate."

"Ya I remember you removing them from your plate and onto Chris' plate a number of times."

She looked shocked and just nodded her head.

"So here or a movie?"

"Here is just fine." She said and sat down.

I began filling my plate and sat once I was done. I looked up and found her staring at me.

"What? I am a big boy and need lots of food." She shrugged and started to eat. For some reason I was so nervous around her and it wasn't like me. I have always been a confident person and this was strange to me.

"So Mika, what is this project to took up about?" I asked in between bites. I thought it would be a good topic to break the thick atmosphere between us.

She looked up and frowned. "How do you know that I am working?"

I gave her a smile and she seemed taken back alittle. "Well to start with I am an Allen and information easily falls into my lap. Secondly, you are my wife so people are interested in everything you do and will reach my circle then me. Thirdly, Maria can't seem to stop talking about how proud she is and can't wait for your great work to be complete."

"I can't take all the credit for the project. We have donors from all around to thank for funding and we are working on building a homeless shelter and once complete we hope to build a neighborhood with at least small houses to accommodate struggling mothers. They will only pay small amounts to maintain the place but, as time goes on they are not to pay anything. If we can get proper funding from the start then they wont pay anything." She had a smile on her face the whole time she talked about her work and I must say she has a beautiful smile. Her brown eyes sparkle when she smiles.

"That sounds like an amazing project. What do you mean pay to maintain the place?"

"Well just for electricity and water. I am trying to convince the donors to donate more so that instead of energy we can use solar that way they can save more."

"I must say I am impressed with what you hope to achieve and I will make a few calls to bring some more donors on board."

Her smile was even brighter when she heard what I said . "Really?! You can do that. Thank you so much."

I knew I had to win her over and I hope I was gaining some points in her book. After the meal, we helped each other clean the dishes and it kinda felt so normal and like a regular thing couples would do.

"hey, I didn't thank you for the meal. So thank you." She said looking at me.

I smiled at her and said. "You are welcome."

I am doing alot of smiling today and it is weird.

"Where is Maria, I haven't seen her all night?"

"I gave her the night off so I could have a meal with you. Although it did not go how I had planned it out, I want to apologise for been an a$$hole to you and what you saw with Maggy. You saying you wanted a divorce opened my eyes and I ended things with her. I mean its not fair to you and her husband, I owe it to both of us to give this marriage a chance."

She looked so shocked that I said all that. "it will take time for me to trust you but, we can start as friends, I guess."

"That can be a start."

I managed to convince her to watch a movie with me and I was impressed with her choice. She chose Sweet Girl and its an amazing movie. When the movie was done , I looked to the side and saw she had fallen asleep. I walked to her and debated on carrying her or just covering her with a blanket. I put my arm under her neck and knees and lifted her up. I had just reached the stairs when she opened her eyes.

"Cole? Why are you carrying me? She said in a sleepy voice.

I looked down at her and stared into her eyes as I ascended the stairs."You fell asleep and I didn't want you to be uncomfortable on the couch."

"Please put me down. This is embarrassing."

I chuckled, "No, it's not. "

"Please put me down"

I reached the top of the stairs and put her down. She was blushing and avoiding to look at me. I walked her to her room and I stopped her by holding onto her hand. When she turned around and looked up at me. I put a finger under her chin and lowered my lips to hers in a soft kiss.

"goodnight" I said and turned to go to my room.

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Since the night that I gave her a kiss by her door, we have been having our meals together and when no one is looking I steal a few kisses from her. Oh so I thought until I saw Maria catch us one day. She has been over the moon but, the sweetest part is Mika sometimes pulls me back for a longer kiss. That girl has me feeling and doing some strange things I never saw or thought I would do.

We are going for our first official date and as always this girl shocks me. I was expecting her to choose an expensive place to eat but, she chose to go for a picnic at a park. I was waiting for her in the living room when she walked in wearing a cute little white dress with no sleeves. Last time she wore something like that she called it boob tube and I like that it has the words boob in there. She had it paired with some brown sandals and a small bag.

"hey, she said shyly.

"Hey baby."

She smiled shyly at me. Don't ask me but, I started to call her that sometime back and I like her reaction. I pulled her to me and lowered my lips to hers. I deepened the kiss until I felt her push me away for some air.

"Why are you blushing as if its the first time we are kissing?"

"Oh stop it." She said as she pushed me away playfully.

We pulled away when we heard someone clear their throat. We saw Maria near the kitchen door. "Here's your basket sir."

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

During the entire ride, I held onto her hand and I would occasionally give it a kiss. We set up in a secluded area and sat. We would feed each other and I would lean in to kiss the smears near her mouth. She shocked me when she got onto my lap facing me and lowered her mouth to mine for a kiss.

"Cole, thank you for showing me another side of you. I should say I like this version better."

"I told you that I wanted to make this work between us. I meant it."

I put my hand behind her head and pulled her in for another kiss. I slid one hand to her chest and started to massage her breast. I heard her moan in my mouth as she gave a little grind to move closer to my d**k. I moved my hand to her waist and moved her even closer as I slightly thrust my hips upwards to make her feel what she was doing to me. Instead it backfired on me when I felt the heat coming from her.

I exposed one of her breasts and lowered to her hardened n****e and latched onto it. She pushed her chest to me and pushed her head back. I pulled her back for a kiss when my phone started to ring.

I groaned in protest when she pulled away and pulled the top of her dress back. "Maybe you should answer that."

"Do I have to?"

She gave me a quick kiss on the lips and moved off my lap. "Yes you do."

My phone started to ring again, so I picked up.

"Hello dad."

"Hey son, how are you and Mika doing?"

"we are okay dad."

"We haven't seen you in a while and was wondering how you were doing. Mika does talk to your brother from time to time but, we haven't seen you both."

I looked at her when dad said she talks to my brother. She gave me a look asking what was wrong but, I ignored it.

"Does she now?"

"oh yes. Your mother says come over for dinner tonight."

"Okay dad. We will be there." I cut the call.

"Why were you looking at me like that as you spoke to your father?"

"So you and my brother?"

She looked at me with a frown then a look of shock. "Are you serious right now? Are you trying to accuse me of been involved with your brother?" I just looked at her and kept quite. "You are an a$$hole" she said and started to pack things up.

"I didn't say that there is something...."

She stopped to look at me and she had tears foaming in her eyes. "You didn't have to say it. The way you were looking at me when talking to your father and the way you looked at me says it all. I was about to give you a chance then you compare me to yourself. I would never cheat even when you didn't acknowledge me."

She said and turned to walk to the car. I felt a stab in my heart when she said she wasn't me. I knew she was referring to seeing me with Maggy. And it made me feel sh*tty about myself. I ran to her just before she could get into the car, I grabbed onto her hand.

"Let go of me Cole." her voice sounded shaky.

I turned her face to me and saw a tear slide down her face. I turned her around to face me completely and wrapped one hand around her waist and used the other hand to wipe the tears that had left her eyes.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean it that way. I was just a little jealous I guess."

She looked up at me and spoke. "You know he is like a brother and he was there when I was alone. When I needed a friend and you were been mean to me."

"i know and I am sorry." I lowered and gave her a kiss, when I tried to pull away she wrapped her arms around my neck. I pulled back when I needed some air. "we need to get going before I change my mind about dinner at my parents."

When she turned to get into the car, I gave her a$$ a light slap.

"Hey!" she said while laughing.

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

"hello." My mom said and got up to give Mika a hug first then me. I let go of Mika's hand so she could hug my mom. When mom saw this, her smile even brightened.

"How are the both of you? You are just in time for dinner."

After we said hello to everyone including seeing her hug my brother. I think he did it to piss me off when he lifted her and spined her around. It even pissed me off more when I heard her giggle. We got to the dining area and he tried to drag her to sit next to him. That was until I grabbed her hand and told her I wanted her next to me. I pulled her next to me and pulled a chair for her.

Chris kept looking at me in a suspicious way especially when I started to remove the tomatoes from her plate to mine.

"Cole, stop it."

I looked at her. "But you don't like them. I am almost done."

"Your parents are looking at us" she whispered and blushed. I looked towards my parents. Mom had a smile and dad had a proud look on his face. I felt embarrassed and sat up straight. This girl is making me do weird things.

We had an amazing meal and while everyone was catching up, I stepped outside to answer a business call. I turned to go back into the house when I saw Chris standing there looking at me.

"Chris, why are you standing there looking at me like that?"

"I don't know what you are upto but, whatever it is should stop before someone gets hurt."

"What are you talking about?"

"I am talking about whatever game you are playing. If you just want to hurt her then let her go to be with someone who can make her happy."

I started laughing. "And who can that person be? You? I am not playing any games and I am only trying to make my marriage work. Is anything wrong with that?"

"If that was the case, I would be so happy for the both of you. You and I know that is not the case. Does she know that dad threatened to cut you off if you hurt her or let her go? Does she know that he told you to give it a year and if things actually failed then he would let you be?"

I looked at him shocked that he heard about that. "Where did you hear that?"

"I heard you and dad talking. I know dad is kinda looking out for you both but, when she hears that she won't take it that way. She will think you are only with her cause you have something to gain. Tell her now if you are serious about her or you might lose her later. Or let her go now and save her the pain later when she realizes that the man she fell for was using her. We both know dad would never cut you off."

He said and walked away without waiting for me to say anything. I rubbed my face in frustration and pulled at my hair. I looked down when I heard my phone ring again. It was a number I did not recognize. I picked up thinking it was another business call.

"Hello?"

"So you pick up when I use a strange line and you don't when I use my usual number." Maggy said.

"This is not a good time to talk."

"Don't you dare cut my call or I will call that little wife of yours and tell her everything. I see you have been all over social media all lovey dovy."

"I said this is not a good time."

"Then you better make time. Come and see me because we need to talk."
